From NBC:
At the end of an 18 hour return trip home from Manila, just as Air Force One is about to begin its descent into Andrews Air Force Base, a cockpit indicator light leads the crew to believe that the landing gear might not be locked down and so the plane stays in the air while the problem can be looked at. Tensions in the plane and on the ground grow as people become more and more concerned that the plane may have been tampered with.
From Warner Bros.:

The craft stays in the air while the problem can be examined. Tensions in Air Force One and on the ground grow as people become increasingly concerned that someone may have tampered with the airplane.
Josh and Leo tossed around baytalk such as "non-point sources" (a.k.a. pollution resulting from rainfall running over land), and sounded like they knew what they were talking about.
In the end, though, the Chesapeake Bay funding was dropped, a victim of politics.
Yes, folks, even on television, the bay gets dissed.
One local environmentalist couldn't help but chuckle at that fictional "$18 million."
The Chesapeake Bay Commission has estimated that cleaning up the bay will cost $19 billion.
"'The West Wing' was off by a rather significant factor," said Will Baker, president of the Chesapeake Bay Foundation. "We really need to think about billions, not millions, to save the Chesapeake Bay."
